LAUREN saw Karla waiting for her at the entrance, the maid already let her in and saw her hands were stuffed in its faded jeans pocket, tapping its foot on the ground repeatedly while roaming its eyes around.

She got smile while looking at her then she approached her.

"Hey..."

"Hey... the security is hella pretty tight here."

"Sorry for that, you followed right?"

"Of course, I will not be here if I didn't right?"

Lauren chuckled, "you're right," and she stopped when she saw Karla's forearm then she took its hand to inspect the injury, "what happened here?" she asked with worry.

"You don't know me yet but I'm actually clumsy, a barbed wire got me while I entered my pick-up."

"Careful next time, does it hurt?"

"Not anymore, it's just a scratch, don't worry."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay, come in, I'm glad you got the address right."

"Well, GPS is helpful."

"Great, come on now."

Before they went inside Chris and Taylor magically appeared in front of them taking Lauren from surprise.

Lauren groaned and covered her face, hoping her siblings will not embarrass her in front of Karla, her crush.

"So, you're the famous Karla Estrabao," and he handed his hand, "Chris Jauregui, Lauren's younger brother."

"Taylor Jauregui, the middle."

Karla accepted the offered hand and waved her other hand to Taylor.

"Wow you had a firm grip even though you had small hands, are you good in basketball?" Chris asked in amusement.

"Not well, I'm petite."

"Well for me I love them inside the court because they're fast in speed, they're good in fast break."

"I believe in that too."

"Hey, Karla what happened to your arm?"

"Oh this, I'm pretty clumsy, my arm stuck in a barbed wire, but it's okay," and she saw him nod, she's sure that Chris is not totally agree of what happened on her arm.

"You're pretty, you know, now I know," and Taylor give Lauren a teasing look.

"Know what?"

"It's nothing, Karla," she said grabbing Karla's attention, widening her eyes to her siblings and she grabs her hand and pulled her.

"Nice meeting you," she said to the two while Lauren was pulling her away from the younger Jauregui's.

"I will let my parents know you," Lauren said.

"Okay, uhm nice house."

"Thanks."

And they arrived at the second floor and Lauren never let go of Karla's hand until they stopped in front of a twin door.

Lauren knocked and they heard a booming voice of her father, letting them in. So Lauren pulled Karla inside of her father's office, her mom is there too.

"Hi, Lauren," Clara greeted.

"Hi, mom, dad, uhm, this is Karla Estrabao, the one I'm talking about, my partner and my classmate in few of my classes."
